A desire to be needed, just for me
A hope to belong, fit in, one of the gang
A longing for closeness, sharing, laughter, and memories
Where I’m the friend they all want to have

Tired of being the new kid, the out of towner that hasn’t found a niche
Tired of doing the calling or the texting, just want to be thought of first for a change
Tired of trying and failing and hearing, “Hey, try some more,”
Just tired

Thanks for writing this, Heather. I would think it was something hard to ‘say aloud.’ I was just expressing similar sentiments to Mark the other day. It’s the whole ‘being tired of inviting people over for dinner, yet never receiving a dinner invitation’ thing. Praying for you!!

My name is Heather and I am a beloved child of God. I'm 30, a pastor's wife, mom, and aspiring novelist, and journeying to find out the rest. My blog is a glimpse into this journey and the insight I gain along the way; some laughter to ease the bumps and bruises, grace to cover my many mistakes, and love to offer hope and healing from a heart that has been broken and restored again and again.
